I think this is other amazing and nice recipe of our country. We love alot avocado (palta), in all forms a like salads, entrees or with toasted bread (mashed aguacate with bread) or hot dogs with mashed aguacate, or with seafood, and these are some I can remember.

Note:

A friend of mine told me about the name of this dish: usually said, "queen avocado" that is avocado stuffed with ground chicken and mayonnaise, and "York avocado" stuffed with tuna avocado,and "Cardenal avocado" when is fill with prawns, this dish was created at a restaurant in Chile around 1920 and adopted in our country in different ways besides is now filled with salmon or with corn but all versions stem from the first recipe ..
